This grim reaper of the vaccine death cult wrote the following on his website back in 2013, as reiterated during a recent presentation on vaccine safety given by expert nephrologist Dr. Suzanne Humphries:

Aluminum is considered to be an essential metal with quantities fluctuating naturally during normal cellular activity. It is found in all tissues and is also believed to play an important role in the development of a healthy fetus.

This insanely ridiculous statement is clearly a foundational tenet of Offit’s bizarre vaccine worldview — and like most of his other pet beliefs, it flies in the face of sound science. Nowhere in the scientific literature (or anywhere in the history of rudimentary scientific understanding) has aluminum ever been recognized as healthy for the human body.

Oral ingestion of aluminum and other toxic metals isn’t nearly as harmful as direct injection into muscle tissue

Dr. Humphries’ powerful presentation, which contains extensive peer-reviewed citations and references, completely annihilates Offit’s insane ramblings about aluminum with ease. Study after study has proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that aluminum is toxic to virtually every system of the body, including the brain.

This same study illustrates how aluminum compounds directly cross the blood-brain barrier, embedding into key areas of the body responsible for energy production, gene expression and enzyme catalysis.

But vaccines only contain small amounts of aluminum that are significantly less than the amount ingested through food and the environment, right? This common argument from the pro-vaccine crowd ignores the inherent difference between oral ingestion of aluminum and direct injection into muscle tissue.

Dr. Humphries, citing research published in the journal Frontiers in Immunity, explains how, when a person eats aluminum, as little as 0.2% of it is actually absorbed, and nearly all of this is flushed out by the kidneys (assuming a person’s kidneys are healthy and fully developed). Meanwhile, direct injection of aluminum via vaccines is 100% absorbed and isn’t filtered out by the kidneys.

“Al [aluminum] is NOT rapidly removed from muscle and then taken in blood to the kidneys for excretion,” explains one of the slides from Dr. Humphries’ presentation. “Infant kidney function is not at adult levels,” it adds, noting that pumping young babies under two years of age with up to 5,000 micrograms (mcg) of aluminum can cause catastrophic damage to the body.
